Hilltop Sport Mirror by BOB KVIDERA Cagers Prepare for Season Daily Practice Benefits Team By ROBERT RASMUSSEN With Coach Bill Chandler on the alert for passing, dribbling, and shooting possibilities, the varsity basketball squad is swiftly getting into condition for the long winter campaign. Daily scrimmages without set plays show an uphill improvement in the passing and shooting departments. Erv “Moose” Graf, the old lefthander, is gradually recapturing his skill in the overhead hook shot. Glen “Sparky” Adams has been dropping in long hook shots with fair consistency. As yet Coach Chandler hasn't formed any definite opinions o^ a possible first team, but it will be built undoubtedly around returning lettermen: Adams, Graf, Dave Quabius, Ralph Amsden and Bobby Deneen. Komenich Sets Record Besides scrimmages, the squad of 22 basketeers has been utilizing competitive drills, such as passing the ball overhead or through the legs to sharpen ball handling skill. Before and after each workout, the hoopsters must record their weights. Big Bill Komenich, sophomore up from last year's yearlings, still leads the boys in two weight divisions: He is the heaviest man on the squad, tipping the scales at 215 pounds, and also leads in most pounds lost since practice started, having dropped from 227 to his present figure. The most weight lost per game title goes to Graf who worked off eight pounds during the first practice session. Speaking of records, Komenich and Ralph Amsden. lanky ball handler from last year's squad, require the biggest basketball shoes from the supply department, both walking around in 12 and a halfs. Norman Ebel's foot fits snugly into a size eight and a half, giving him smallest shoe honors. Greeted by New Rockers When the team turned out for first practice, they found new lockers and a completely redecorated locker room. Each man out for the varsity has an individual locker, six feet high and over a foot square, being deep enough to use clothes hangers. The walls were finished in a gold and brown color scheme. Those who have turned out for the varsity this year include: Adams, Amsden, Bergner, Bayorgeon, Collen- tine, Deneen, Ebel, Graf, Hammer, Hesik, Kelly, Komenich, Miller, McDonald, Nagle, Perry, Quabius, Rogers, Sutter, Skelly, Staffeld and von Bereghy. The first game will be with the Alumni, Nov. 26. Emblem Men Hold Smoker Homecoming wouldn't be complete for Marquette emblem men without the traditional “M” club smoker the night before the Hilltop game. Walter (Red) Andrews is head man for this year's blowout to be held at the Pfister hotel after the frosh-Ripon football game. Charles Regan has planned songs, stories and football moving pictures for the entertainment of the former University “greats.” Festivities will get under way Friday night at 9 o'clock after a ride down the avenue in the parade. A squad of cars will also transport the athletes back to the hotel after the game. This year the “M” club is working toward the largest turnout in history and a committee has been appointed both in Milwaukee and out in the state, including among others Heath Crider, Jack Walter, John Sisk, Dr. Lee Foley, Jerry Lunz and Jack Lauterbach. Herb Anderson Playing with Buivid, Guepe and Co., Herb Anderson earned a letter as a soph end, but in his junior and now his senior year he has been handicapped by injuries. Future Rivals Display Power Marquette's future opponents acquitted themselves impressively last weekend. A tired and battered Michigan State team was defeated 6 to 0 by Missouri's aerial circus. Texas Tech's undefeated and untied Red Raiders kept up their winning pace by swamping Loyola of the South, 55 to 0. The University of Arizona Wildcats triumphed over Centenary college, 7 to 6. Still showing the effects of the Santa Clara battle, Michigan State weakened midway in the fourth quarter long enough for Missouri's passing attack to put the ball on the Spartan 7-yard line from where Christman plunged over. The Spartans, with Pingel in the lead, launched a desperate last minute passing attack which penetrated to the Tiger 20-yard line before it was M. F. PATTERSON DENTAL SUPPLY CO.

Four of the scheduled five rounds have been played and the remaining games will be played this week. Joe Biebel's Packers and Daniel Fons' Alpha Chi team are leading with three wins each, but the Packers have been held to one tie. These two teams will meet Friday to determine the chapionship of the league. Other matches this week will see Alpha Epsilon Pi meeting Alpha Chi and the Triangle playing Omi- cron Alpha Tau. Packers in Scoring Lead The Packers have scored 67 points in four games to lead the league in scoring. Ray Winter, Charles Hammer and Warren Hall have refereed the games, which have been played on the field in the rear of the gymnasium. Due to the fact that this field is somewhat restricted, the teams are composed of only seven men. Considerable interest has been aroused by the deciding games be cause the points gained will be applicable toward receiving the traveling trophy. The results and standings are as follows: First Round Packers 30, Mayfaire Student Club 12 Omicron Alpha Tau 12, Alpha Epsilon Pi 6 Alpha Chi 6, Triangle 0 Second Round Packers 24, Omicron Alpha Tau 6 Triangle 12, Alpha Epsilon Pi 0 Alpha Chi 24, Mayfaire Student Club 6 Third Round Triangle 6, Packers 6 Alpha Chi 24, Omicron Alpha Tau 0 Mayfaire Student Club 7, Alpha Epsilon Pi 0 Fourth Round Omicron Alpha Tau 0, Mayfaire Stu.

Cold and rainy Leather prevented strenuous outdoor scrimmage and so Coach Driscoll ordered light workouts and even rests for most of Egt-string men.

E* week, the 1938 Hilltoppers end their home season with a Ue against their arch-rivals, Michigan State. Just as previous to Duquesne game, the Hilltoppers have enjoyed a layoff with an L date last Saturday. The coaches expect from this that the ;rs will be eager and fighting to get back into the , and what the results may be, nobody wants to ' i^gjm a, parallel can be drawn between the years, with all :ing Hilltop way, and don't be misled if this doesn't inspire the Marquetters.

Fluctuating Weight Lists NE of the many things we like about Paddy Driscoll as coach I of the Marquette football team is his marked disinclination to doctor the weight charts of his squad. We understand that Driscoll has told the publicity department always to release ps just as they are reported in the training room, pch honesty may get Paddy into trouble with the coaches' some members of which resort to the doubtful chicanery of fN> off 10 pounds or so from each man to make their squads light. We presume the strategy of this maneuver is to fool opposing teams and have them believe they're up against a bunch lightweights and will have ho trouble at all. I*, take Michigan State for instance. You're going to see a fv husky Spartan team out on the field here Saturday. But the Pits released by the East Lansing publicity department show not Porter who weighs 200 pounds or more and only five who go If + Pfact, we believe they've really become confused about the rer> One set of weights gives these figures for the Spartan " 8: Diehl 176, Gargett 185, Griffeth 196, Ailing 190, Rocken- 185, Bremer 190, Kinek 190, Diebold 170, Pingel 175, Pearce “ Haney 190.
